First-of-its-kind US bill would address the environmental costs of the technology, but there’s a long way to go.

one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes. It’s estimated that a search driven by generative AI uses four to five times the energy of a conventional web search. Within years, large AI systems are likely to need as much energy as entire nations.

    I literally asked for you to lie in order to make me look bad by claiming I said people could burn a car if they were pissed off?

    I’m pretty sure I didn’t say either thing.

    And yes I did accuse you of making personal attacks then. Because you were making them then and you’re making them now.

      This is about you hate AI

      And you responded:

      Please demonstrate that to be true. Unless it’s a lie. Is it a lie?

      So I demonstrated.

      There’s no need to screenshot one specific quote and present it with no context, I provided a link to the whole thread.

        The only thing you demonstrated was that you lied. And you provided the link to prove it.

        The first statement was, as I have demonstrated, a lie. The second statement was, as I said, dishonest, because it was a group decision, not a unilateral one, and had nothing to do with hating AI in general.

        So no, you have not shown that to be in any way true. All you have shown is that you are a highly dishonest person who makes scurrilous accusations in order to harm someone’s reputation.

        Badly.

          That’s not the comment I was referring to. Here’s a direct link, where you said:

          I think it’s reasonable for a mob to destroy one of the many self-driving cars that have been pissing off San Francisco residents for a very long time now when it tries to drive into them during a big celebration where cars weren’t even supposed to be. Who got hurt here? Waymo? Fuck Waymo.

            Yep, still lying.

            I didn’t say-

            I think it’s reasonable for a mob to destroy one of the many self-driving cars that have been pissing off San Francisco residents for a very long time now

            I said:

            But it is pretty amusing that you pasted a quote yourself that proves what you said was a lie. Maybe you should have cut off that second part to make the lie more convincing.

              The car didn’t drive into them. It stopped.

              But re-arguing a week-old thread in a different unrelated thread is likely even less welcome. Anyone who’s really interested can go read it.

                What the car did is irrelevant. This is a lie:

                I’ve shown that it is a lie. Even the text you pasted proved that it was a lie. The first part of the post above was just blatantly false, the second part was dishonest. That’s a simple truth.

                Sorry, you’re not going to get me to forget about the fact that you lied by trying to change the subject.
